Daemons - Thoughts/Builds/Etc

I ordered some parts to create some neat new Daemon Princes. The plan is to try and create a unique set of 3. I will probably sell of the other ones I have as I hoe these new ones are pretty nutty. Will see how it all comes together when I get the parts. Fun times indeed.

Oh - This is the End - the new movie with the new "brat" back of bros is very very funny. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time and I would say if you are not offended by lots of dick jokes then this movie is for you. And lots and lots of dick jokes. Fun times - two thumbs/hooves up.

Blargh - since I want to redo my Daemon Princes it means I need to come up with designs. Especially for Fateweaver. I think he needs to pop back in as he gives me a lot of options to help survive, plus giving me a tool kit to do it all.

That one is pretty basic - and I have taken to wanting to use Fateweaver as another - win more option. His ability to reroll the warp storm as well as reroll a dice will be extremely important in keeping things alive. Do I need to get that Iron Arm off? Welp I can always reroll that one on my turn. Oh crap I rolled double 1's? Well I could always just reroll the one dice to get a better one. Fun times indeed. Kenny has changed my mind on him and I think I need to test him further. I still don't like Nurgle princes due to the nature of Cover going away - but it is still something to think about.

Fateweaver is very worth it, if nothing else than the reroll on the Warp Storm table, also when most people hear Fateweaver they tend to want to kill him early which takes the pressure off of other units(to be fair any Flying MC tends to draw attention though)

Im interested in running similar lists. My nurgle were fun at wargamescon and pretty much done. I want to get another deamon list going but i only have tzeentch princes instead of slaanesh. I also used the torrent grinder to much success and would love some ideas on slaneshy grinder conversions. Chumby thinks bastardizing a wraithknight would be fun and I agree!

Kenny used nurgle with great success. I personally struggled and all 3 of my loses were to tau, where losing cover really hurt. I imagine eldar primaris stripping shrouded will hurt equally as much. Plague drones were a big bullet soaker especially if i rolled endurance on guo and in that case ide put him on the table instead of deep striking.

Mono nurgle has issues in trying to kill flyers - the Slaanesh can kill just about any vehicle with it's 2d6 str u shots when you have Iron Arm up. It is just nutty how much you can just kill things with it.

I do wonder if dropping dogs, just going 3 grinders with a crap ton of troops might be better.

If I went to 2000 - the dogs might go out for 3 super HQ's. That might be worth it. Or Drop one - get a Keeper and get 2 of the DP's as Heavy? I think I need another HQ then.. too much to think about haha.
